The site you mention also asked about variations in hardware or formatting mechanism. I find the identical behaviour in USB drives (local) and USB sticks (removable). In the past I have used Hitachi Microdrive to render Removable sticks Local, but can't find a version of this driver upgrade for 64-bit. (Not one that works, anyway. Several that don't.) Also identical behaviours whether the filesystem is formatted FAT32 in Windows or formatted FAT32 in Linux. So summarising: SOME (but not ALL) file transactions on FAT32 result in "Mixed case but no spaces 8.3" -> "ALL UPPER CASE 8.3" Examples are sed and dos2unix (and family); but not nano, or joe. I can't think of anything that I could reasonably test on a folder rather than a file to see the effect on foldername. Goodness knows how to upstream anything to MS. Finally, there was another Windows update yesterday, 05-MAR-2018: to version 1709 OS build 16299.251. Hopes of a return to correct behaviours were immediately dashed. :o( Fergus -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
